One of the few nice things about my childhood were horse books like the Gypsy trilogy by Sharon Wagner. I liked the whole trilogy so much that when I found a used copy for sale on eBay, I nabbed it. You really do need to read the first two books in order to fully appreciate this one. For example, a filly that can lead other horses around is a bizarre mental image, but not when you've prepared for this by the first two books.
Strengths of this book include a horsey mystery, the return of a character from the first book and shows Native Americans in a good light. Unfortunately, the book gets a bit too Nancy Drew-ish.
All in all, it's a fun, light read. I recommend only reading a chapter a day in order to make the book more interesting. I am glad I got a replacement for the book I gave away when in my 20s. It's a shame this series did not go on longer.
This was one of my favorite trilogies when I was a kid. I’m 53 and this series brought back so many great memories. I think I wore my copies out when I had them back in the day. Finding the series on ThriftBooks was like finding a gold mine.
I wish the author was still alive so I could tell her how much these books stayed with me my whole life.
I had the Gypsy from Nowhere and Gypsy and Nimblefoot books from childhood in the 70’s. I happened to think of them and look it up here and found there was a 3rd book in the series later. So I got it from Amazon and enjoyed it. They were books I would read and re-read as a kid. I want to share them with my cousins girls.
